- 0:24Speaker 1: to the Battalion, an electrical fire broke out Saturday morning
- 0:28Speaker 1: at the Student Services Building, which houses Student Life, Residence Life,
- 0:32Speaker 1: Disability Resources, and Counseling and psychological services. Reports say no
- 0:37Speaker 1: one was injured, but the building will be closed for

- 0:43Speaker 1: assaulting his pregnant wife. The woman claims thirty three year
- 0:46Speaker 1: old Christopher a Versa punched her in the head and
- 0:49Speaker 1: headbutted her during an argument. She claims a Versa became
- 0:52Speaker 1: upset and took her cell phone after she received a
- 0:55Speaker 1: text message. When she asked him to return her phone,
- 0:58Speaker 1: he allegedly punched her in the back of the head
- 1:00Speaker 1: with a closed fist. She fell forward injuring her ribs,
- 1:04Speaker 1: but a Versa wasn't done. He grabbed her head with
- 1:06Speaker 1: both hands and headbutted her in the forehead. Officers observed
- 1:10Speaker 1: bruising on her ribs and swelling around her forehead and
- 1:13Speaker 1: Temples Hospital records say the woman suffered a concussion and
- 1:16Speaker 1: bruised ribs. They did not take X rays because she
- 1:19Speaker 1: is twelve weeks pregnant. She was released from the hospital
- 1:23Speaker 1: after being checked out by the emergency department. A Versa
- 1:26Speaker 1: was charged with assault of a pregnant person and is
- 1:28Speaker 1: being held on fifteen thousand dollars bond. The rules for
- 1:32Speaker 1: mail in ballots and Texas have been upheld by the
- 1:35Speaker 1: Conservative Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. It requires a driver's
- 1:39Speaker 1: license number or the last four digits of your Social
- 1:42Speaker 1: Security number.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Mail in voting is the least secure form of voting
- 1:46Speaker 2: we have in this country. The court upholding this requirement
- 1:49Speaker 2: is tremendously important.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Josh Finley with the Texas Public Policy Foundation says this
- 1:55Speaker 1: should be a model for other states when they seek
- 1:57Speaker 1: to secure elections. In addition to the number of areification,
- 2:00Speaker 1: the law also imposed tough new rules on those assisting voters.
- 2:04Speaker 1: As a way to crack down on voter intimidation. The
- 2:07Speaker 1: FDA reclassified a recent egg recall and upgraded it to
- 2:11Speaker 1: high risk. Over one point five million dozen eggs produced
- 2:15Speaker 1: and distributed from farms in Texas have been recalled due
- 2:19Speaker 1: to the risk of salmonilla. The eggs were sold locally
- 2:22Speaker 1: at Kroger. The voluntary recall is for white shell eggs
- 2:26Speaker 1: and brownshell cage free eggs with sell buy or best
- 2:29Speaker 1: buy dates between July twentieth and August seventeenth. More information

- 2:47Speaker 3: public school performance flattened out.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Overall.
- 2:50Speaker 3: Of the more than nine thousand campuses rated, twenty five
- 2:54Speaker 3: percent got an A, sixty percent got a B or
- 2:57Speaker 3: C in about fifteen percent a D or an L.
- 3:00Speaker 3: At least five school districts are on the edge of
- 3:02Speaker 3: statewide intervention Austin, Waco, Greenville, Ector County.
- 3:06Speaker 1: And Ralls.
- 3:07Speaker 3: In many cases, it's an issue of a handful of
- 3:10Speaker 3: schools consistently receiving an F rating. The Texas Tribune reports
- 3:14Speaker 3: these letter grades can affect everything from enrollment to the
- 3:17Speaker 3: larger community. As businesses may choose a higher performing area
- 3:21Speaker 3: to invest in. Districts can appeal their grades until September eleventh.

- 3:33Speaker 1: screwworm infestation, a majority of which has been found in
- 3:36Speaker 1: Texas since June, may be under control. Here's TSN's Jim Ryan.
- 3:41Speaker 4: The parasitic larvae of the New World screwworm have been
- 3:44Speaker 4: found on forty four sheep, cattle, and goats in Texas
- 3:47Speaker 4: and one dog in New Mexico, but after months of
- 3:50Speaker 4: working to control the spread, the US Department of Agriculture
- 3:53Speaker 4: says that only three cases remain active in two Texas
- 3:56Speaker 4: counties along the Mexican border. The inactive cases involved animals
- 4:00Speaker 4: that were either euthanized or died as a result of
- 4:02Speaker 4: a screwworm infestation.

- 4:57Speaker 1: Coming up in sports. Riley sent me a picture, so
- 4:59Speaker 1: I put a picture of.
- 5:00Speaker 5: This this Witch's cake on the Facebook page with WTAW
- 5:06Speaker 5: like it's it's delicious, Riley, first of all, delicious cookie cake.
- 5:09Speaker 5: It's like double icing. I like how it's Halloween theme too.
- 5:12Speaker 5: It's perfect for her. I loved it and I just
- 5:15Speaker 5: ate like like four slices of it. And now I
- 5:18Speaker 5: feel like I am seeing I'm seeing things i've never
- 5:21Speaker 5: had this experience before, so I don't know what to
- 5:25Speaker 5: do about it other than just kind of just ride,
- 5:29Speaker 5: ride this ride well for the rest of the day.
- 5:31Speaker 1: I've looked up some of the some of the key
- 5:33Speaker 1: facts when it comes to this. Okay, so you know,
- 5:36Speaker 1: you can get some serious, you know, negative effects from
- 5:40Speaker 1: eating too much cookie cake. And the first one was
- 5:42Speaker 1: a sugar crash and fatigue. You're getting a spike in
- 5:45Speaker 1: your blood sugar right now. Most people call that high
- 5:47Speaker 1: bocal iscemia. Oh. Oh, that's going to leave you exhausted, irritable,
- 5:52Speaker 1: and lethargic.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Oh.
- 5:54Speaker 1: You may have some digestive distress as well from the fat,
- 5:58Speaker 1: the butter and the shortening and the sugar because there
- 6:00Speaker 1: was so much icing, so much ice, so much ice,
- 6:03Speaker 1: which means you may experience a little bloating, some stomach cramps,
- 6:06Speaker 1: a little acid reflux, heartburn, already getting that nausea, sugar headaches,
- 6:12Speaker 1: perhaps extreme thirst because the high sodium and sugar content
- 6:15Speaker 1: and the cookie dough. And that's just the short term effects.
- 6:19Speaker 1: So I did ask the AI. I was like, so,
- 6:21Speaker 1: how much is too much? Yeah?
- 6:22Speaker 5: Exactly, because if I owe dead on, if I owed
- 6:24Speaker 5: ead on cookie cake. What's the line that where it
- 6:28Speaker 5: becomes a problem because I feel like I've been able
- 6:31Speaker 5: to tolerate cookie cake before until this morning, and then
- 6:34Speaker 5: it's a.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you've been off the cookie cake for
- 6:37Speaker 1: a while. You can't start back on the cookie cake
- 6:40Speaker 1: at the same levels you did back in the day
- 6:42Speaker 1: at the cookie cakes.
- 6:43Speaker 5: I'm also like, it's I don't need a lot of dessert.
- 6:45Speaker 5: So that's just like, that's that's so bad.
- 6:47Speaker 1: It's very bad. That was a critical error. Critical So
- 6:50Speaker 1: they say that for most adults, a single slice, which
- 6:54Speaker 1: is roughly one eighth to one twelfth of a standard
- 6:56Speaker 1: cookie cake about two to three ounces, that's where you
- 6:59Speaker 1: ought to.
- 7:00Speaker 5: What wait, hold on, So if I had chopped the
- 7:03Speaker 5: entire cake into twelve SE's like the twelve of.
- 7:06Speaker 1: A standard one, this was understanding. This was an Excel.
- 7:10Speaker 1: This was an Excel cookie cake. Then one slice, so
- 7:12Speaker 1: you're saying about three two to three slices in one
- 7:15Speaker 1: sitting is where usually the too much kicks in? How
- 7:18Speaker 1: much did you serve me? I don't know, I'm gonna
- 7:22Speaker 1: say how many.
- 7:24Speaker 7: Ounce has he said?
- 7:25Speaker 1: Okay, a standard slice is roughly two to three ounces.
- 7:29Speaker 1: I'm gonna say he probably had eight u if by
- 7:34Speaker 1: those by those serving counts. They say, eating two to
- 7:38Speaker 1: three slices in one sitting is where usually too much
- 7:41Speaker 1: kicks in. You're consuming hundreds of grams of sugar, a
- 7:44Speaker 1: massive amount of saturated fat all at once. Your sugar
- 7:47Speaker 1: crash and whatnot is coming. What you can do, okay,
- 7:51Speaker 1: all right? What you can do y solutions. Please hydrate aggressively,
- 7:55Speaker 1: all right, So I'm working on that. All right, water water,
- 7:57Speaker 1: Go for a light walk, some gentle physical activity fifteen minutes.
- 8:02Speaker 5: I'm doing a radio show like I normally, I step
- 8:04Speaker 5: out and take laps around.
- 8:06Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna suggest that during the breaks you you
- 8:08Speaker 1: don't even do the light maybe even a slow jog.
- 8:12Speaker 1: Get some of that physical activity. That way, your muscles
- 8:16Speaker 1: will utilize circulating instead of eating as much insulse like
- 8:20Speaker 1: pre workout it is. And then they say avoid the
- 8:23Speaker 1: hair of the dog trap because when the crash hits,
- 8:26Speaker 1: your brain's gonna say, you know what, man, maybe just
- 8:29Speaker 1: one more bodies. I'm just get back on that horse.
- 8:31Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go home.
- 8:32Speaker 5: I'm gonna have to go home at some point and
- 8:34Speaker 5: just sleep for the rest of the day.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Yeah, this is wild.
- 8:38Speaker 5: I I know, I joke about it a lot. There
- 8:42Speaker 5: very few times where I've actually felt really old.
- 8:44Speaker 1: This is one of those times. I'm laid low by
- 8:47Speaker 1: a cookie cake. Now you believe me, taken out come,
- 8:50Speaker 1: you believe me. When I when I was in the
- 8:53Speaker 1: cookie cake eating contest that I now havesd, I.
- 8:56Speaker 5: Was like, this is a this is made up, This
- 8:59Speaker 5: is for effect. No, no, and real you would have
- 9:01Speaker 5: eaten more than me. Yeah, and we're a younger man
- 9:04Speaker 5: at the time.
- 9:04Speaker 1: So just again, it's the moderation, moderation and all things
- 9:09Speaker 1: Socrates Golden mean.
- 9:10Speaker 5: This is why I don't drink anymore, because I couldn't
- 9:12Speaker 5: keep it down with that.
- 9:13Speaker 1: I just you know, that's the.
- 9:15Speaker 5: Moderation is the moderation is the thing that gets me
- 9:18Speaker 5: every single time.
- 9:20Speaker 1: All right, We're back right after this.
- 9:21Speaker 5: On the Infomaniacs sixteen twenty ninety four to five WUTA
- 9:25Speaker 5: W nine seven nine six nine five sixteen twenty is
- 9:30Speaker 5: our text number. You can also call us to chase
- 9:32Speaker 5: suggest that instead of taking just laps around the office,
- 9:39Speaker 5: I could start with air squats.
- 9:40Speaker 1: What are air squats? Just squatting without a squaquad you.
- 9:44Speaker 5: Just go up and down and up and down that
- 9:46Speaker 5: way to look. I could stay stationary and then you know,
- 9:48Speaker 5: be able to work and you know when the commercials play,
- 9:51Speaker 5: I'm just sitting there, bunt.
- 9:53Speaker 1: I just make sure you have soft things around you.
- 9:55Speaker 5: Exactly, I mean, genuinely, I just I don't even want
- 9:59Speaker 5: to I don't even want to move today.
- 10:02Speaker 1: There's going to be a nap in Tucker's future. It's
- 10:04Speaker 1: going to be a nap. There's gonna absolutely have to
- 10:06Speaker 1: be a nap. I mean, it's absolutely nuts. You went
- 10:08Speaker 1: to Eyeball. How was that? Eyeball was awesome. It's a
- 10:11Speaker 1: great event, and of course each Creek Branch is a beautiful facility,
- 10:15Speaker 1: and uh it was. It was a good time and
- 10:18Speaker 1: they put on a great event and it helps kids
- 10:20Speaker 1: get to be able to see better, which is great.
- 10:23Speaker 1: So it was good as there were some high rollers there,
- 10:26Speaker 1: lots and lots of folks. See, that's what I was.
- 10:27Speaker 5: I was going to ask you because I I whenever
- 10:29Speaker 5: I go to these things, I'm kind of like, you know,
- 10:32Speaker 5: I feel that the expectation is that you know, you're
- 10:36Speaker 5: gonna you're gonna you're gonna start throwing some money in
- 10:39Speaker 5: here there.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Apparently apparently my wife has that X I heard.
- 10:42Speaker 5: There were quite a lot of opportunities, Yeah, to do
- 10:45Speaker 5: this very thing.
- 10:46Speaker 1: I think we got off fairly lucky. I'm not sure
- 10:50Speaker 1: at what point in time I was able to disengage
- 10:54Speaker 1: my wife from the money spending activities. But we did
- 10:58Speaker 1: not win the purse. There was some Louis Vaton purse
- 11:02Speaker 1: that was so what were you? Yes, so what was
- 11:03Speaker 1: she wanting? Was it the Louis? Oh? Yeah, the minute
- 11:06Speaker 1: she hears there's a Louis in the vicinity and there's
- 11:09Speaker 1: a possibility to get it, money goes in. Yeah, she's
- 11:12Speaker 1: gonna try and for that. She had some sunglasses, some
- 11:15Speaker 1: nice sunglasses out of it. But I dropped all my
- 11:17Speaker 1: tickets in the various drawings and I didn't win anything,
- 11:21Speaker 1: nothing except for when I dropped my drink tickets in
- 11:24Speaker 1: the cup at the bar at one. Then oh that's it.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Every time sales boss Dale Stale Dale was there, nailed,
- 11:33Speaker 1: two did he raffles? Okay, nailed because we gave our
- 11:39Speaker 1: tickets to Ali when we left. Because the wife was done.
- 11:42Speaker 1: She reaches that point where she's it is time TG
- 11:46Speaker 1: got Friday. Friday evening, first week of having kids in
- 11:48Speaker 1: the classroom and all, yeah, she was done lord, So
- 11:51Speaker 1: I was impressed that she went out at all. So
- 11:54Speaker 1: we gave our tickets to Ali. I'm not certain that
- 11:56Speaker 1: maybe Dale didn't get involved in that and steal a
- 11:58Speaker 1: couple of times. Do you think that that grill like
- 12:00Speaker 1: it was a whole group?
- 12:01Speaker 5: Oh, he won the grill, won the grill. So you
- 12:04Speaker 5: think I was supposed to be yours? I think there's
- 12:06Speaker 5: a chance I should look into that. Man, there's a chance.
- 12:09Speaker 1: I also die. You. You don't have an h o
- 12:12Speaker 1: A where you no.
- 12:13Speaker 8: No.
- 12:13Speaker 1: In fact, one of the reasons I left where I
- 12:16Speaker 1: was and moved to where I am right is because
- 12:19Speaker 1: there's no such thing as an h o A there.
- 12:22Speaker 1: It's a beautiful thing if you could find it.
- 12:25Speaker 5: I'm always I always love hearing people's ho A complaints
- 12:29Speaker 5: because they're they're universally.
- 12:32Speaker 1: We had a we had. There's some that are worse,
- 12:34Speaker 1: but there are in the last in the last subdivision
- 12:37Speaker 1: I lived in, not good, not good at all.
- 12:41Speaker 6: There shouldn't it be no suching as an h o A.
- 12:43Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Well they came, they came, harasseding me. We're
- 12:45Speaker 1: doing some some yard work. My late father was investing
- 12:50Speaker 1: some landscape right in the yard there. World renowned landscape
- 12:54Speaker 1: horticulture is one of the best, literally one of the
- 12:56Speaker 1: best on earth. Yeah, so they came and they wanted
- 12:58Speaker 1: to shut it down because we didn't have a site
- 13:00Speaker 1: plan approved. It's like a hard fight to fight. Yeah,
- 13:05Speaker 1: good luck with that. Yeah. I don't think it's going
- 13:07Speaker 1: to go particularly well now. When it came to the
- 13:09Speaker 1: a h o A, I generally went with the it's
- 13:11Speaker 1: better to ask forgiveness rather than permission, and a lot
- 13:15Speaker 1: of times I didn't even bother asking for forgiveness.
- 13:17Speaker 5: And the other The other side of it is like
- 13:19Speaker 5: ice again. I know what Riley's saying.
- 13:22Speaker 1: But the other side of it is that, well, if you.
- 13:24Speaker 5: Want a neighborhood to look nice, you need to have
- 13:28Speaker 5: an h o A because you need to have consequences
- 13:31Speaker 5: for It's just like whatever.
- 13:33Speaker 1: It's just like communism in theory. It might have some benefits,
- 13:38Speaker 1: but it never goes the way it's supposed to.

- 16:56Speaker 1: seat of a vehicle that was running and in reverse.
- 17:00Speaker 1: When officers contacted twenty five year old Charles Ray Archie
- 17:03Speaker 1: the third of Spring, they reported smelling marijuana coming from
- 17:07Speaker 1: the vehicle. A probable cause search revealed two point three

- 17:37Speaker 1: use of Flock cameras. People seemed to love them or
- 17:41Speaker 1: hate them. The company behind more than one hundred twenty
- 17:44Speaker 1: thousand license plate tracking cameras nationwide is promising major changes
- 17:49Speaker 1: after a report found police officers have been using the
- 17:52Speaker 1: cameras to stalk women.
- 17:54Speaker 10: In response to the growing backlash and privacy concerns, Flock
- 17:58Speaker 10: now says it will delete its data after seven days
- 18:00Speaker 10: instead of thirty, require a criminal case number for every
- 18:04Speaker 10: database search, and automatically lockout officers whose activity looks abnormal.
- 18:09Speaker 10: Privacy advocates claim it doesn't go far enough, the Center
- 18:12Speaker 10: for Democracy and Technology calling it quote the same just
- 18:16Speaker 10: Trust Us policy with a fresh coat of paint.
- 18:19Speaker 1: Hannah Bath reporting, The Washington County Commissioner's Court held a
- 18:23Speaker 1: special meeting Friday morning to discuss a proposed multi purpose
- 18:27Speaker 1: facility at the Washington County Expo Center. The court ordered
- 18:31Speaker 1: that a bond election be added to the November third ballot.
- 18:35Speaker 1: The proposition will allow Washington County voters to decide on
- 18:38Speaker 1: whether or not to authorize funding for the project. The
- 18:41Speaker 1: facility would provide a weather protected, year round, flexible venue
- 18:45Speaker 1: for livestock, equine, rodeo, agriculture, trade shows, community and other events.
- 18:50Speaker 1: It would also helped attract larger events that would in
- 18:53Speaker 1: turn support the local economy. If approved, the project is
- 18:57Speaker 1: estimated to result in a one point four three cent
- 19:00Speaker 1: property tax increased per one hundred dollars to cover the
- 19:03Speaker 1: county's interest in seeking tax rate to fund the debta
- 19:06Speaker 1: associated with the project. A victory for Texas in the

- 19:21Speaker 2: Security It reinforces the importance of identification when casting abauot.
- 19:26Speaker 11: Josh Finlay with the Texas Public Policy Foundation says this
- 19:29Speaker 11: should be a model for other states. In addition to
- 19:31Speaker 11: the number verification, the law also imposed tough new rules
- 19:34Speaker 11: on those assisting voters as a way to crack down
- 19:37Speaker 11: on voter intimidation in San Antonio.
- 19:39Speaker 1: Michael Boord TSN News. The Texas Education Agency has released
- 19:43Speaker 1: their letter grades for school districts statewide during the last
- 19:47Speaker 1: school year. The accountability reports find that public school performance flatlined. Overall.
- 19:52Speaker 1: Of more than nine thousand campuses rated, only twenty five
- 19:56Speaker 1: percent got an A, sixty percent got a B or C,
- 20:00Speaker 1: and about fifteen percent got a D or F. At
- 20:03Speaker 1: least five school districts are on the edge of state
- 20:06Speaker 1: intervention Austin, Waco, Greenville, Actor County, and Rawls. In many cases,
- 20:11Speaker 1: it's an issue of a handful of schools consistently receiving
- 20:15Speaker 1: an F rating. These letter grades can affect everything from
- 20:18Speaker 1: enrollment to the larger community, as businesses may choose a
- 20:21Speaker 1: higher performing area to invest in. Districts can appeal their grades.
- 20:25Speaker 1: Until September eleventh, the FDA upgraded a recent egg recall
- 20:30Speaker 1: to high risk. Over one point five million dozen eggs
- 20:34Speaker 1: produced and distributed from farms in Texas have been recalled
- 20:37Speaker 1: due to the risk of salmonilla. Some of the eggs
- 20:40Speaker 1: were sold locally at Kroger. The recall is for eggs
- 20:43Speaker 1: with sell buy or best buy dates between July twentieth
- 20:46Speaker 1: and August seventeenth. More information on which eggs are included
- 20:50Speaker 1: in the recall is located at WTAW dot com. It
- 20:55Speaker 1: looks like a historic El Nino is shaping up in
- 20:58Speaker 1: the Pacific Ocean, which will greatly impact Texas weather the
- 21:02Speaker 1: rest of the year.
- 21:03Speaker 9: New data from Noah suggests a ninety percent chance of
- 21:06Speaker 9: a very strong al Nino this fall and winter. The
- 21:09Speaker 9: stronger al Ninho is, the cooler and wetter Texas will
- 21:12Speaker 9: be as a result. Whether or not it will be
- 21:15Speaker 9: enough to lift the drought statewide remains to be seen.
- 21:18Speaker 9: Four casters are predicting a near seven to ten chance
- 21:22Speaker 9: that this will be a record setting al Nino, perhaps

- 22:17Speaker 6: Morrison as he recaps the Aggie's exhibition match win against
- 22:20Speaker 6: the Baylor Bears in sports.
- 22:22Speaker 5: We're talking about what you got in trouble for with
- 22:25Speaker 5: your hoa mm hm text messages.
- 22:28Speaker 1: First off, I would like to highlight.
- 22:31Speaker 5: Jay who says his house was on the city's main
- 22:35Speaker 5: website for code violations and he wears this as a
- 22:39Speaker 5: badge of honor. It was a trailer full of trash
- 22:42Speaker 5: part to the street in front of my house. It
- 22:44Speaker 5: was there for less than a day. They got you,
- 22:46Speaker 5: They got you, They got.
- 22:47Speaker 1: You, Garrett text end. Garrett is not wrong.
- 22:50Speaker 5: You signed onto these rules when you bought that house.
- 22:54Speaker 5: And usually if you hate the HOA. Then you're you know, Gary,
- 23:01Speaker 5: why it exists?
- 23:02Speaker 1: You're right, you're absolutely I signed onto those rules. What
- 23:06Speaker 1: did I not sign on to the person that was
- 23:08Speaker 1: walking around, Uh being a literal Karen enforcing those rules.
- 23:14Speaker 1: For example, Yes, there's a rule that your yard can't
- 23:16Speaker 1: get overgrown. Do you think you want to continue to
- 23:19Speaker 1: find a gentleman who was in the hospital and rehab
- 23:22Speaker 1: after his wife left him and he decided he discovered
- 23:25Speaker 1: he had cancer and he was in there for.
- 23:26Speaker 5: Months, but because his life gets in the way of
- 23:28Speaker 5: some of these things, Yeah, you don't just.
- 23:30Speaker 1: Keep finding the guy and sending him nasty grams? Or
- 23:32Speaker 1: do you? Or is that? What is that? What's required
- 23:35Speaker 1: to keep the neighborhood. It's not walk around and talk
- 23:39Speaker 1: to people, find out what the story is, get to
- 23:41Speaker 1: know your neighbors, and then you know, if there's an
- 23:43Speaker 1: issue issue, great, but not before you've at least had
- 23:45Speaker 1: a conversation with somebody, you walk up and slap some
- 23:48Speaker 1: sticker on their garbage can or on their front door
- 23:51Speaker 1: or whatever. Now I'm not dealing with these It's hard
- 23:54Speaker 1: for me to it's hard for me to believe that.
- 23:56Speaker 5: Like again, if you go back hoas are pretty recent, right,
- 24:02Speaker 5: pretty recent, And you're right, you know, you can always
- 24:04Speaker 5: just go move somewhere buy a house where there's no
- 24:06Speaker 5: HOA and you can look peacefully and whatever.
- 24:08Speaker 1: But some people like them.
- 24:10Speaker 5: But there was one that I was trying to buy
- 24:12Speaker 5: a house, jeez, when I was in Houston. Them was
- 24:14Speaker 5: like I found what I thought to be the perfect house. Uh,
- 24:17Speaker 5: And I was like, oh cow, this is grave. It's
- 24:19Speaker 5: gonna offer it. And my wife's like, hey, you should
- 24:22Speaker 5: really check the HOA rules just because like we don't know.
- 24:26Speaker 5: I was like, well, what could possibly be in there?
- 24:27Speaker 5: It's just an ho a. Holy cow. They had a
- 24:30Speaker 5: rule that you could only have two creatures in that house,
- 24:34Speaker 5: two pets total, and if they found more than two,
- 24:39Speaker 5: then they would just come in there and take them.
- 24:40Speaker 1: Oh good luck with that.
- 24:42Speaker 5: And that was that's so I called the ho I
- 24:44Speaker 5: was like, well, surely that's just in there from it
- 24:46Speaker 5: and they didn't even know it was in there. They
- 24:48Speaker 5: looked it back up, like oh it is, yeah, you
- 24:51Speaker 5: got three cats. Yeah you can't, you can't. You can't
- 24:54Speaker 5: buy this house.
- 24:55Speaker 1: Well, there's also city ordinances about that that you may
- 25:00Speaker 1: or may not be exceeding at the moment. But here's
- 25:02Speaker 1: my question.
- 25:03Speaker 6: All of this about the h A. Yeah, I don't see,
- 25:07Speaker 6: and I'm sorry, you're standing on someone's personal property. Isshu.
- 25:11Speaker 1: It's against the law to trespass.
- 25:13Speaker 6: If you go out there and you are like digging
- 25:15Speaker 6: through people's things, you should be able to get arrested.
- 25:18Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't care.
- 25:19Speaker 6: If there's some rules, well, you signed this, so I
- 25:21Speaker 6: should be able to that's trespassing. I don't care. You
- 25:24Speaker 6: don't own my property.
- 25:26Speaker 1: You want to take photos.
- 25:27Speaker 6: From the street, go ahead, But if you step foot
- 25:30Speaker 6: on my property, no, I'm sorry.
- 25:33Speaker 1: She's gonna stick the assassin snails on them if they
- 25:35Speaker 1: come up there. Now I've seen, I've seen ho A
- 25:38Speaker 1: representatives get on people's patio and measure to make sure
- 25:42Speaker 1: that potted plants are the proper distance from the water.
- 25:45Speaker 1: That's just ridiculous.
- 25:46Speaker 5: And I sympathize with a lot of this stuff, but
- 25:49Speaker 5: when it gets to that levels.
- 25:50Speaker 1: Like how what am I going to say to that?
- 25:51Speaker 2: Right?
- 25:52Speaker 1: That's insane. That's I could give you excerpts of what
- 25:56Speaker 1: I have said in some I have If I have.
- 26:00Speaker 5: Decided on a cold day to to light my trash
- 26:04Speaker 5: can on fire and just and use it as like
- 26:06Speaker 5: a bum fire for the benefit of me and my friends. Yeah, okay,
- 26:11Speaker 5: that's problem, right, that's a that's an issue. If it's
- 26:15Speaker 5: if it's you know, if there are some weeds behind
- 26:19Speaker 5: a potted plant, like, you know, just just.
- 26:22Speaker 1: Let it go. Just it's the same people that gave
- 26:25Speaker 1: us eyes where during the pandemic event, we were standing
- 26:28Speaker 1: in each other's yards and talking and we're not sure
- 26:30Speaker 1: that we were six feet apart, and they were walking
- 26:33Speaker 1: around filming us. Yes, I just mind mind your business.
- 26:37Speaker 1: Did you.
- 26:41Speaker 5: How do you feel about cooking tips from your mother?
- 26:43Speaker 5: Did you get any of those? I got some because
- 26:46Speaker 5: you're you're actually quite a cook.
- 26:49Speaker 1: My mom was very good at at baking, right, and
- 26:53Speaker 1: like salads and that sort of the My dad was
- 26:56Speaker 1: more of the main course sort of guy. Okay, but
- 26:59Speaker 1: you know what, can get a lot. I got some
- 27:01Speaker 1: from them. I got I got a lot from my grandparents, right,
- 27:07Speaker 1: and and especially because on my mother's side of the
- 27:09Speaker 1: family that involved a lady named lou Berta and a
- 27:13Speaker 1: kitchen in the South Okay, And I picked up a
- 27:15Speaker 1: lot from that. Riley, did you learn anything from your mom?

- 27:31Speaker 1: From their own mother. From their own mother, so many
- 27:35Speaker 1: percent almost don't cook. Man.
- 27:38Speaker 5: That's that's a good point, is we are assuming this
- 27:42Speaker 5: horrifies me. My mother can cook, and I learned a
- 27:46Speaker 5: lot from her on how to cook.
- 27:47Speaker 1: Certain cook meals were the thing we if we had
- 27:50Speaker 1: a fast food meal, it was rare, rare. Yeah. Yeah,
- 27:53Speaker 1: so it's a big deal.
- 27:54Speaker 5: But then but yeah, you take that for granted, there's
- 27:56Speaker 5: a whole bunch of people out there that is like,
- 27:58Speaker 5: you know what those tips at all, but horrible with
- 28:03Speaker 5: the influencers because we all know that sometimes they're not
- 28:06Speaker 5: real good. No, have you ever see That's the thing.
- 28:09Speaker 5: I've tried a lot of these. I have tried a
- 28:11Speaker 5: lot of influencer recipes. Some incredible, some of them are
- 28:14Speaker 5: just garbage. They look great in the video, but then
- 28:19Speaker 5: you try to recreate them and it's like, I mean, yeah,
- 28:22Speaker 5: we've all been there.
- 28:23Speaker 1: Uh, it's it's just not.
- 28:26Speaker 6: The one The same on TikTok that she claimed that
- 28:29Speaker 6: she made all these different elaborate meals, and then a
- 28:32Speaker 6: couple I can't remember her name, a couple of years
- 28:35Speaker 6: ago it happened, and then like four or five months later,
- 28:37Speaker 6: it come to find out it was her sister doing
- 28:40Speaker 6: all the cooking.
- 28:41Speaker 1: Somebody was faking something on the internet exactly.
- 28:45Speaker 6: Everyone was livid because she had over like three million followers.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Yeah, she had.
- 28:49Speaker 5: She had had one one that could cook and one
- 28:51Speaker 5: that could be the face of the brand, and why
- 28:52Speaker 5: not just turn it into.
- 28:53Speaker 6: Your sister didn't know about the She didn't know.
- 28:55Speaker 1: Sister was the one that she did.

- 29:05Speaker 6: and all that what she cooked, and her sister had
- 29:07Speaker 6: different supplies that she was baking with, and they didn't
- 29:10Speaker 6: put two and two together. And then after her sister
- 29:13Speaker 6: uploaded it, she followed, just so you know, I actually
- 29:15Speaker 6: made the whole thing and she's lying.
- 29:17Speaker 1: That is crazy. It was like the ever.
- 29:21Speaker 5: Only thirty three percent of people said Mom's recipes are
- 29:24Speaker 5: on par with cooking advice from social media.

- 30:28Speaker 1: when you pin something there, you have lost it for eternity,
- 30:31Speaker 1: especially if you pin all kinds of things. Because she
- 30:34Speaker 1: was like, Okay, I gotta find this recipe and the
- 30:36Speaker 1: next thing I know, she's down fifteen rabbit holes. I'm like,
- 30:39Speaker 1: have you figured out whether or not we need this item?
- 30:41Speaker 1: That is why a cookbook? Cookbook is the way old school,
- 30:46Speaker 1: old school. I wonder if we could just get you

- 31:25Speaker 6: Today, the A and N volleyball team concluded it's preseason
- 31:28Speaker 6: slate with a three to one victory over Baylor last night.
- 31:32Speaker 6: After the programs decided to play an extra frame in
- 31:35Speaker 6: which Baylor won the fourth set to conclude the game
- 31:38Speaker 6: head coach Jamie Morrison recapped the match.
- 31:41Speaker 8: That was fun, and I said five minutes before, I
- 31:43Speaker 8: was just looking forward to competing and this group was
- 31:45Speaker 8: really fun to compete with. So I'm proud of the
- 31:47Speaker 8: work that we put in throughout the preseason piece of
- 31:50Speaker 8: this when we've been really really grinding, and I think
- 31:52Speaker 8: that showed with the way we played today. And I
- 31:54Speaker 8: just believe in pressure testing things before you go out
- 31:56Speaker 8: and do it. And I think they're a really really
- 31:58Speaker 8: good team and really good, really good program. Inspect their
- 32:00Speaker 8: coaching staff and everything about this program. So just to
- 32:03Speaker 8: be able to kind of get out and get to
- 32:04Speaker 8: be able to see what this looks like versus somebody else,
- 32:07Speaker 8: and they're going to test you out in some different ways,
- 32:09Speaker 8: so to be able to learn from that, to be
- 32:10Speaker 8: able to go home, to be able to study that now,
- 32:12Speaker 8: and it'll help us get better not only within this
- 32:14Speaker 8: but in the future down the road as we prepare
- 32:16Speaker 8: for our next match. Had a similar feeling to when
- 32:19Speaker 8: we played in the National Championship match and our team
- 32:22Speaker 8: ran out and the crowd went crazy, and again it
- 32:24Speaker 8: was one of those things where it snaps you out
- 32:25Speaker 8: of it and you look around and the twelfth Man
- 32:27Speaker 8: is amazing and we're excited to play it in front
- 32:30Speaker 8: of him as many times as we can.
- 32:31Speaker 6: Up next, the Aggies opened the twenty twenty sixth season
- 32:34Speaker 6: at the AVCA First Serve in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where they'll
- 32:38Speaker 6: face Louisville on Friday, August twenty first, with First Serve
- 32:42Speaker 6: set for five pm. The A and M soccer team
- 32:45Speaker 6: fell two to one last night against the Baylor Bears.
- 32:48Speaker 6: Head coach Bobby Shuttleworth recap the game.
- 32:50Speaker 12: In the first half, we were a little bit on
- 32:52Speaker 12: our heels. There are moments where you know, we were
- 32:54Speaker 12: proactive and on the front foot, and then I thought
- 32:56Speaker 12: there were a lot of moments where reactionary and kind
- 32:58Speaker 12: of letting them dictate play. And I thought in the
- 33:00Speaker 12: second half he saw saw that switch a little bit,
- 33:02Speaker 12: and you saw us on the front foot and getting
- 33:04Speaker 12: after them a little bit. I think we obviously created
- 33:07Speaker 12: a ton of chances in the second half, but I
- 33:09Speaker 12: thought we had a lot of the play and you know,
- 33:11Speaker 12: got them backwards a little bit. Every game that we
- 33:13Speaker 12: get this group together, playing another game is important. I
- 33:16Speaker 12: think the second half showed, you know, a little bit
- 33:18Speaker 12: more grittiness from us, a little more determination, aggressiveness. So
- 33:22Speaker 12: that's got to be the standard for us in this
- 33:23Speaker 12: program is those things are non negotiable. So I think
- 33:26Speaker 12: with this team, if you see that and we're gonna
- 33:28Speaker 12: have some success.
- 33:29Speaker 6: Up next to the Marina White wrap up the season
- 33:31Speaker 6: opening road swing when they head to San Marcus on
- 33:34Speaker 6: Wednesday night to take on the Texas State Bobcats At
- 33:37Speaker 6: seven point thirty in the MLB. Last night, the Texas
- 33:40Speaker 6: Rangers lost five to two to the Athletics. Rangers manager
- 33:44Speaker 6: Skip Schumacher recapped the game.
- 33:46Speaker 13: Jake Berger had a great day to day, hit the
- 33:48Speaker 13: ball hard, you know a bunch of times. You know,
- 33:50Speaker 13: we just couldn't figure out that the cutter slider combination
- 33:53Speaker 13: from from Lopez.
- 33:54Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing for us.
- 33:57Speaker 13: You know, we got into some hitters counts and for
- 34:00Speaker 13: whatever reason, we just couldn't get the barrel on it.
- 34:02Speaker 13: A lot off speed pitches kind of out in front,
- 34:04Speaker 13: you know, ground balls, and you know, Diaz hit the
- 34:06Speaker 13: ball hard a couple of times. Nimo had a you know,
- 34:09Speaker 13: a couple good at bats, you know, Carter with the
- 34:10Speaker 13: double opposite way, but just couldn't string them along and
- 34:13Speaker 13: kind of get that crooked number that we were kind
- 34:15Speaker 13: of hoping for, and that's why you only get two runs.
- 34:18Speaker 6: The Houston Astros fell three to two in last night's
- 34:21Speaker 6: game against the Seattle Mariners, losing their three game series
- 34:24Speaker 6: as well. Throughout the end of last weekend, over the
- 34:27Speaker 6: weekend of preseason week one, and the NFL has officially began,
- 34:30Speaker 6: and we've got a first look at many of the
- 34:32Speaker 6: teams ahead of the start of the season. The Houston
- 34:35Speaker 6: Texans hit the field last Thursday and took on the
- 34:38Speaker 6: Los Angeles Chargers, falling to the Chargers twenty seven to seven.
- 34:42Speaker 6: In the preseason game. The Dallas Cowboys traveled to Seattle
- 34:45Speaker 6: to take on the Seahawks and came away with a
- 34:47Speaker 6: seventeen to seven win. That's your morning sports update, brought

- 35:22Speaker 5: about the preseason kicking off this weekend. This past weekend.
- 35:25Speaker 5: Obviously for the NFL, I'm not really kicking, but you
- 35:27Speaker 5: know we're we're in it. Oh yeah with Texans the
- 35:31Speaker 5: preseason for whatever that means. Yeah, But it's the best
- 35:33Speaker 5: thing is I've never been able to get really into
- 35:35Speaker 5: the NFL preseason because it's like, you know, it's just
- 35:38Speaker 5: hours a time. I get it, you're excited a football's back.
- 35:42Speaker 5: I understand that, but it's not the same thing. Although
- 35:47Speaker 5: if you listen to Cowboys fans, they're going they're going
- 35:50Speaker 5: this year.
- 35:51Speaker 1: Oh yeah, are they? Oh that's what they Well, they
- 35:52Speaker 1: say that every year.
- 35:53Speaker 6: Will I think, since I've been alive for the last
- 35:56Speaker 6: twenty six years, every single year, it's been there where
- 35:59Speaker 6: we're going, we're going to win this on the other
- 36:01Speaker 6: and I have yet. I don't think in my lifetime
- 36:04Speaker 6: I'm gonna see them win.
- 36:06Speaker 1: That is the yeah that it is hard for me.
- 36:08Speaker 5: To wrap my head around the idea that the Cowboys
- 36:11Speaker 5: will somehow be able to even if they have a
- 36:15Speaker 5: great team, they'll find a way. And it goes back
- 36:18Speaker 5: years and years, and maybe this is why I'm not
- 36:19Speaker 5: really mad about the Tony Romo thing. The other thing
- 36:22Speaker 5: is people were like, hey, Tony Romo, wasn't it the promo?
- 36:25Speaker 5: Did you like the thing that they ran for?
- 36:29Speaker 8: Uh?
- 36:29Speaker 1: You know, I'll play a little bit of this story.
- 36:30Speaker 5: This is this is the CBS Sports you know, Jim
- 36:33Speaker 5: Nantz and Bill Cower and you know, some players are
- 36:36Speaker 5: in a neighborhood.
- 36:36Speaker 1: And footballs back right, Okay, No Tony Romo. And they're like, wait,
- 36:42Speaker 1: does that mean he's actually getting fired?
- 36:44Speaker 5: Yes, they already got JJ Watt there, man, I think
- 36:47Speaker 5: that's a done deal.
- 36:48Speaker 1: Yeah. It sounds like I think I feel like, well,
- 36:50Speaker 1: should have you gotten fired me? He said, you what?
- 36:52Speaker 1: So that's okay? All right? You never get fired for
- 36:56Speaker 1: what you get fired for. And like, I don't know
- 37:00Speaker 1: what Tony Romo was like to work with, but apparently
- 37:03Speaker 1: it was a problem, was it.
- 37:04Speaker 5: I think I don't know if it was like his coworkers,
- 37:07Speaker 5: but the amount of money they were paying this guy
- 37:10Speaker 5: probably so. I think they were very regretful of giving him,
- 37:13Speaker 5: like I don't know, one hundred and fifty million or
- 37:15Speaker 5: whatever it was to to yack about sports.
- 37:20Speaker 1: That's a lot of money. I think maybe it's even
- 37:22Speaker 1: deeper and darker than that, because you know, when Romo
- 37:24Speaker 1: came out and he was first in the broadcast booth,
- 37:27Speaker 1: what was he doing. He was essentially calling the place
- 37:30Speaker 1: on the before the camp line, which was one of
- 37:32Speaker 1: the coolest things I'd ever seen. Is I was like,
- 37:34Speaker 1: this is great. So maybe so maybe the NFL coaches
- 37:39Speaker 1: got together, it's like, hey, it's Romo kid. Is messing
- 37:42Speaker 1: us up too much? Yeah? Can't has too much power? Yeap,
- 37:45Speaker 1: got it? Got it?
- 37:46Speaker 6: I love him on like I loved him during all
- 37:48Speaker 6: of the media stuff. I mean, he didn't play that
- 37:50Speaker 6: great when he actually played the game, but listening in.
- 37:52Speaker 1: Media was pretty good. Played. He never won won.
- 37:58Speaker 8: Bowl.
- 37:58Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Who has the Cowboys in the last thirty years. Nobody.
- 38:03Speaker 1: That's why. That's why you don't remember them, because it
- 38:06Speaker 1: was four years before you were born the last time
- 38:09Speaker 1: they won a Super Bowl? The cow Is it true?
- 38:11Speaker 1: Ninety six? I have no idea thirty years ago we
- 38:13Speaker 1: haven't been alive for Dallas Cowboys. That's how long I'm
- 38:16Speaker 1: not a Cowboys fan. Thoseem I mean, that's the thing.
- 38:19Speaker 1: Like again once again I was, he was, well, you know,
- 38:22Speaker 1: I grew up in the seventies. Man, it was Roger
- 38:25Speaker 1: Staubach and Tony dor Set had two Tall Jones and
- 38:28Speaker 1: Randy White, Cliff Harris. I knew them all. The Doomsday
- 38:32Speaker 1: Defense had all of that. And then and then then
- 38:36Speaker 1: came along Jerry Jones. Yeah, and the first and when
- 38:39Speaker 1: he fired Tom Landreier was like, I'm out, I'm out.
- 38:42Speaker 1: And then he won three JS and I was more
- 38:44Speaker 1: championships he was in and but no, it was a
- 38:47Speaker 1: deal with the devils. Deal with the devil.
- 38:50Speaker 5: And since then, yeah, we all know, we all know
- 38:53Speaker 5: how that's gone.
- 38:54Speaker 1: Yeah, Sam says, go oilers, by the way, and I'm
- 38:56Speaker 1: with you there, Sam, go Oilers.
- 38:58Speaker 5: Jason, the only think it needs to go for the Cowboys,
- 39:00Speaker 5: the Jones family.
- 39:02Speaker 1: You realize he's laughing. He doesn't care about the wins. No,
- 39:06Speaker 1: it's it's money. It's just money.
- 39:08Speaker 5: And he makes so much of it, like he makes
- 39:10Speaker 5: more than any other sports franchise.
- 39:12Speaker 1: And and you know he doesn't have to win.
- 39:14Speaker 5: Isn't it great to be able to make all that
- 39:16Speaker 5: money and you don't even have to win. You just
- 39:19Speaker 5: show up, You throw out a couple of Netflix shows,
- 39:22Speaker 5: and you know, sell some more.
- 39:23Speaker 1: You put some more merch out there, and they just
- 39:26Speaker 1: just eat it up. People still go up like losses.
- 39:30Speaker 1: No why I still have hope that they'll win too. Yeah, yeah,
- 39:34Speaker 1: well I don't. I don't care any know what will
- 39:37Speaker 1: isn't evolved Cowboys, I evolved. I follow Aggie's in the NFL.
- 39:42Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, Butaggs in there, the different story
